Questions from Launton
Do you come out to small places like Launton?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Launton close to London?
Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
What can visitors choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.

- Whether a minimum applies
- How easy the site is to reach

Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your event is.
What to tell us
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:

We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can use our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Space for a queue away from paths
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
